I won the Canadian Golf Teachers Cup Championship at The Bay of Quinte Golf Club in Belleville, Ontario.

Day 1 was cold and windy which led to higher scores but I fought through the elements shooting a 76 which was tied for the lead with three other Pro's. The three others were Dave Belling from Arizona, Bob Richardson from Keswick and Bill Hardwick from Toronto, all past champions.

Day 2 was warmer with less wind which brought the scores down. I started the round with two birdies on the first two holes taking a one shot lead. The middle of the front nine I made a few mistakes which left me 3 shots behind Dave Belling and Bill Hardwick with the back nine to go. A birdie on the 13th and pars on 14 and 15 put me tied with Dave and Bill. The 16th hole is where I took over, I sank a 25 foot birdie putt to take a 1 shot lead. A par saving 7 foot putt on 17 still left me with a 1 shot lead, then a punch 7 iron off the 18th tee to 20 feet past the hole then I made the birdie putt to clinch the title by 2 shots shooting even par 72.

I am one of two teaching pros ever to hold the US and Canadian Championships at the same time, the other was Bill Hardwick. I am looking to three peat in Las Vegas next week where I will defend my US title and become the only teaching pro to go, back to back to back.

I would like to thank my wife Sharon for all her support and encouragement while I worked on my game. Plus Mark and Sue Trowman the owners of The Bluffs Golf Club for all their support as well.

Lesson Packages

I offer private or group lesson packages for all ages and abilities of golfer.

This is a cost effective way to improve your game with a couple of friends or family members

I am going to be offering a new way to get lessons all year long no matter where you are or what time of the day. The new process will be available by the middle of February. I will be sending out a newsletter to introduce the new process and there will be a web page dedicated for instructions and lessons. Look for the new lesson technique in the near future.
